Information You Provide
Search-tool entries
When you enter a name, location, or other search term in a site search tool, the entry is sent to the independent provider that operates that tool. Cottle County Busted Mugshots does not store or log those search terms on its own systems.
Messages to the site
If you send an email or a message through a contact feature, we retain the information needed to reply and manage the request. We do not share message content outside our organization unless disclosure is required by law.

How We Use Information
We use information only for ordinary site operations, communications, improvement, and advertising support.

- Understand which pages and links are useful.
- Diagnose and address technical problems.
- Display advertising that may reflect general interests.
Linked Sites and Advertising
The guide links to official sheriff, jail, corrections, court, and government pages, as well as independent search tools. Once you leave this site, the destination’s privacy policy and practices apply. Review those policies before providing information.
Advertising partners may collect activity across websites on their own systems in order to deliver interest-based advertising. That collection is governed by the partner’s policy, not this Privacy Policy.

- Advertising networks that deliver or measure ads.
- Law-enforcement agencies or government bodies responding to a valid legal order.
Security Practices
We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards appropriate to a small information website. No internet-connected service can guarantee complete security, however, and no method of transmission or storage is breach-proof.
